7 d. ago A new start after 60: I realised I had autism – and suddenly my life made sense. I have never been so happy

After decades of loneliness and depression, Cathleen Caffrey had come to think of herself as a bad person. Then she learned about others who had struggled to fit in When she was 39, Cathleen Caffrey saw a brochure at her Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

It drives my loved ones and colleagues mad, and then it drives me mad that they point it out – only making me more anxious about it.It is a particular problem when it comes to public speaking or asking questions in front of others. I try to have everything written down so I stay conc...
